Current noninvasive tests for colorectal cancer screening: An overview of colorectal cancer screening tests
Colorectal cancer (CRC) has become the third most common cancer in the world. Screening has been shown to be an effective way to identify early CRC and precancerous lesions, and to reduce its morbidity and mortality. Several types of noninvasive tests have been developed for CRC screening, including the fecal occult blood test (FOBT), the fecal immunochemical test (FIT), the fecal-based DNA tes...
متن کاملOvercoming barriers to colorectal cancer screening tests.
BACKGROUND The frequency of colorectal cancer screening tests in Israel is poor, and is much lower than in the United States. This low rate has been attributed to health system failures as well as to barriers on the part of both physicians and patients. OBJECTIVES To further identify particular health system failures, physician and patient-based barriers, and the effectiveness of public lectu...
متن کاملColorectal Cancer Screening: Tests, Strategies, and Perspectives
Screening has a central role in colorectal cancer (CRC) control. Different screening tests are effective in reducing CRC-specific mortality. Influence on cancer incidence depends on test sensitivity for pre-malignant lesions, ranging from almost no influence for guaiac-based fecal occult blood testing (gFOBT) to an estimated reduction of 66-90% for colonoscopy. Screening tests detect lesions in...
متن کاملA comparison of three stool tests for colorectal cancer screening.
The annual guaiac or immunochemical fecal occult blood test (FOBT) is one of the five colorectal cancer (CRC) screening regimens recommended by the American Cancer Society (Smith, Cokkinides, & Eyre, 2005). Stool-based deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) testing for CRC is considered a promising technology (Smith, Cokkinides, & Eyre, 2003). Numerous features of three noninvasive stool tests for CRC are...
متن کاملAdvances in Fecal Tests for Colorectal Cancer Screening
OPINION STATEMENT Colorectal cancer (CRC) forms an important public health problem, especially in developed countries. CRC screening tests can be used to identify asymptomatic individuals with CRC precursors and (early) cancer. Removal of these lesions reduces CRC incidence and prevents CRC-related mortality. There are a range of screening tests available, each with advantages and disadvantages...
